C1da--595-20-601 A/E Pave and Modify Loop and Parking (Va-20-00065494) | Eda: 12/22/2020 | Current Milestone

The A/E firm shall provide the following upon award: Provide a full set of construction documents for the project. Project shall create a new portion of the roadway that will redirect vehicle and pedestrian traffic approximately 75 away from the vicinity of the operating room, including its projected 3,500 SF expansion, while maintaining adequate traffic flow, in order to reduce electro-magnetic interference experienced by the OR equipment. Project shall improve the separation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic at the South Entrance while maintaining its use as a drop off area. Project shall improve traffic flow and enhance our ability to conduct in-vehicle screening of drivers and passengers at our West entrance. This may require roadway widening and re-construction. The loop shall always be maintained allowing traffic to circumnavigate the campus in either direction. Existing roadways shall have a new bituminous wearing surface installed to match the grades of the existing parking lots and access points along the loop. Much of the campus roadway has concrete curbs with integral gutters that have been overlaid with asphalt pavement and so milling will be required in many areas. Where the road needs widening or where the base or sub-base has failed, grade and widen the existing surfaces down to acceptable soils for sub-grade or to a depth acceptable for emplaced sub-grade materials for new portion of roadway. All lines, crosswalks, and other markings on the bituminous roadways shall be repainted in accordance with current VA policies and standards. Project shall include new sidewalks and curbs where required by the addition of new paved areas or the repaving of existing road areas. Project shall demolish the closed portion of any roadway and return it to a green space. Changes to other utilities, including, but not limited to water, storm drainage, lighting, electrical, gas lines, and other underground utilities as required by the alterations to the driveways and parking lots. VA Physical Security standards shall be incorporated into the design as per Physical Security Design Manual for VA Mission Critical Facilities (JANUARY 2015). Other options as determined by design meetings for efficient delivery of service. All work under this contract shall meet the requirements of the latest versions of the VA guidelines design guides, design manuals, details, standards, master specifications and associated industry standards including, but not limited to, PA Department of Environmental Protection.
